Abstract WP56: Dental Flossing associated with reduced White Matter Hyperintensity and Intracranial Atherosclerosis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP56-AWP56, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Prior studies have shown the association between oral infection, white matter hyperintensity (WMH), a marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), and asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS). CSVD was assessed using the log of WMH volume.

Submaximal Angioplasty for Severe Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis: Benefit of Revascularization at Last

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue 4 , Page e114-e118, April 1, 2025. Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is a leading cause of stroke with a significant risk of recurrent ischemic events despite aggressive medical management. However, 3 percutaneous angioplasty and stenting randomized trials showed negative or neutral results.

Abstract WP116: Plaque Features and Infarct Pattern in Ischemic Stroke With Bilateral Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP116-AWP116, February 1, 2024. Compared with contralateral carotid artery plaque, plaque burden at the ipsilateral carotid artery was much heavy, presented with a higher degree of stenosis, smaller lumen area (0.22±0.15 of them were male. 0.15), larger wall area (0.50±0.19

William M. Feinberg Lecture: Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: Current and Future Considerations

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis is an important therapeutic target for stroke prevention. Advances in treatments against atherosclerosis have driven down the rates of stroke in patients managed without revascularization.

Abstract WP203: Ipsilateral Hemodynamic Failure of Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery is Associated with Severe Middle Cerebral Artery Atherosclerosis——a 4D Flow MRI Study

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP203-AWP203, February 1, 2025. Introduction:The middle cerebral artery (MCA) is the most common site for inrtacranial atherosclerotic stenosis. Evidence has shown that carotid artery geometries are independently associated with ipsilateral MCA atherosclerosis. 21.35), p<0.001).Conclusions:Both

Abstract TP293: Association Between Aortic Arch Type and Lateralization of Subclavian Artery Stenosis: An Observational Cohort Study

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP293-ATP293, February 1, 2025. Background and Objectives:Left subclavian artery (LSA) is more prone to atherosclerosis than the right one. The study was designed to investigate whether aortic arch types (AAT) was associated with the lateralization of subclavian artery stenosis (SAS).Methods:In

Abstract 41: Territorial Stroke in SAMMPRIS: Critical Analyses of Stroke Prevention in Intracranial Atherosclerosis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A41-A41, February 1, 2025. This is largely due to the Stenting and Aggressive Medical Management Therapy for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Arterial Stenosis (SAMMPRIS) trial results which featured a high periprocedural stroke rate.
